Anthrax Update

We are now over six months the anthrax attack on America. Little of what I wrote months ago is changed.

The number of cases has increased by two since the death of the Nguyn woman in New York City. That elderly woman in Connecticutt that died and the lab worker who was brain dead and failed to take even the most minimal precautions, and got skin anthrax. There have been less than two dozen cases total, and (I believe) six fatalities).

I originally bought the theories on the deadliness of anthrax and the minute amount needed to kill you. Unfortunately for the doomsayers and the weapons of mass destruction fanatics, the facts from this attack fail to prove most of what is still being taught to police, fire, and EMS workers. It just plain did not happen the way everyone thought and is still stating.

Anthrax can only be caught by direct exposure. That makes it a poor choice for a bio-weapon, because the illness is self limiting. It can't spread. In a modern society, where antibiotics are easily available and most medical professionals take normal precautions, the number of people to actually catch the disease will be low. And it was.

Now, as for the two oddities, the Vietnamese woman and the old lady in Connecticutt. They got it from contaminated mail? BULL!
Howcome they were the only two? You mean to tell me that they somehow caught anthrax from enough spores, yet there was NO trace in the homes, and NO ONE else on the same mail route got it? And no one else with a compromised immune system (they were old and assumed to have a compromised immune system) anywhere, ANYWHERE, caught it? It just wasn't that contagious. There has to be a more credible explanation for their deaths. And the same basic question goes for that little girl that supposedly got it at her mom's job site (ABC?). No one else got it. Disease just doesn't work that way. You don't just get one person sick, either no one is sick, or more than one.
